Mana Takase

Mana Takase, born on 20 September 1998 in Osaka Prefecture and 157 cm tall, is a former member of the idol group Hinatazaka46. As a fourth-grader she moved to Britain with her family and took up the violin there. Being one member of a large idol group is a strange job. You are asked to be individually memorable while permanently embedded in a formation of dozens of others, and the usual shortcut to visibility is to make your private life part of the product. Some members take that route. Finding her own place within that formation is the part of her story I respect.
